Psychology/Social Issues
Throughout history, throughout most of the world, psychopaths have gotten a
bad rap. That is quite understandable since almost all of the world's religious
and social philosophies have little use for the individual except as a tool to be
placed in service to their notion of something else: "God," or the "collective,"
or the "higher good" or some other equally undefinable term. Only rarely,
such as in Zen and Tibetan Buddhism, and some schools of Existentialism, is
the individual considered primal. Here, finally, is a book which celebrates,
encourages and educates the best part of ourselves
the Psychopath.
**Be warned! This book not only bites, it will chew off your fingers and claw out your
eyeballs." — Phil Hine, author of Condensed Chaos
'inspires both insight and paranoia... A book that provides useful techniques and
reveals what techniques others may be using on you*" [
— Douglas Grant, Dagon Productions
"Do not take anything in this book literally! Wait, on second thought, take it alt
literally!"
— Joseph Matheny, author of Ong's Hat the Beginning and Game Over?
"Close to the top of our index of prohibited books."
— Peter Carroll, author of PsyberMagick
"Yo! Doc! This is a real tasty stew, keep it up!"

Foreword
iSyrhopath: A person with an antisocial
I it i .mi.iliiy disorder, especially one manifested in
Mjtyjii'MMlve, perverted, criminal, or amoral behavior*
— The American Heritage Dictionary
It's good to be the king.
— Mel Brooks
I' m* years the market has been flooded with books
tilled with "sweetness and light." This is not one of
them.
Most people will characterize this book as evil,
malevolent unprincipled, wicked and pessimistic. It
If . all of that — and worse.
It is an "evil" book with "evil" ideas. This is neces-
sarily so because this book tells the truth. Truth is
always characterized as "evil/*
In some ways this is a book of social philosophy,
In other ways it is a book of technique. Which it is for
you may depend more on your attitude than any-
thing else.
The average person will not even finish the Intro-
duction. After a page or two most will put it down
and return to the mush of the TV set. We recommend
that vou do so. This book is toxic! 1
1 The weak-minded reader might see this dare and
read on anyway. Good. That's what we want. On the other
hand, you might see right through this transparent chal-
lenge, resent being told what to do— as you should — and
stop right now before you waste your precious time and
money. Good. That's what we want. (If you do read on, the
words "double bind ,f might come to mind from time to
time.)

Most people will be appalled by this book. Many
will ignore or dismiss its message as too horrifying

few who do not see it thus, we congratulate you as
you are probably already a Master and you are
"already advancing the Work.)
We can state with confidence that most people
will be appalled (or worse} because we have already
seen it happen. We have noticed that quite a few oi
the brave souls who read through the original edition
{which was titled The Toxick Magician), and those
who helped "test drive" this greatly expanded version,
have remarked that the first chapters seemed rather
easv to take— despite our dire warnings. Indeed, it
seemed to them that these first chapters seemed
rather light-hearted, even amusing. And then,
sometimes quite suddenly, they would remark that
thev felt something change within themselves, that it
seemed that the tone of the book itself changed and
that they began to feel disturbed— sometimes very
disturbed. Whether it was the reader or the book
itself that changed we leave for you to decid e .
You might even do this experiment for yourseli:
read the first five chapters or so. See if they seem
"easy to take." Then keep reading and see if you teel
a difference, perhaps a greater sense of dread ana
malevolence. If you do, go back and reread those first
chapters again. Do they still seem as easy to take t

port to present the means to bring man to a "higher
state 1 ' of consciousness or evolution or some such.
Di\ Hyatt claims nothing of the sort. Rather, this
book is intended as an instruction book for the
psychopath, 2 the sort of person who cares nothing
for the "advancement 1 ' of the species, 3
Much has been written about the psychopath but
very little has been written for the psychopath.
Perhaps the best-known is Niccolo Machiavelli's The
Prince (1532), written for the political psychopath.
(Indeed, at one time we considered titling this book
The New Prince: Machiavelli Revisited in homage to
Machiavelli* s work even though we personally despise
all those in and around the political field. 4 )
Though (probably) not written specifically for the
psychopath, Eric Hoffer's The True Believer: Thoughts
on the Nature of Mass Movemen ts (1951) is essential
reading for the practitioner.
We are aware of few other useful titles in the non-
fiction arena — not in psychology or even in political
"science" — except for a few books classified in the

2 For those who wonder about the difference between the
terms "psychopath" and "sociopath/' please note that both
the dictionary and psychiatric definitions of the two words
are now literally identical. This was not always so. We
speculate that the merging of these two terms has been
done for the convenience of those in the psychiatric and
criminal justice systems so that they need only consider
behavior and not internal psychological factors.
3 Though useful for all psychopaths, this book is particu-
larly written for the group of psychopaths we consider the
best and highest of all — in our terms. We call them "Toxick
Magicians," More about that later,
4 At press time we saw an announcement of the release of
a book titled The New Prince (Renaissance Books, 1999] by
Dick Morris, It was described as a political book, perhaps
intended to "update" the original.

"salesmanship" category. Some of Robert J. Ringers
work, such as Winning Through Intimidation and
Looking Out For No, 1 (both reissued in 1993) arc
particularly useful, (As Mr, Ringer so clearly points
out, these are not salesmanship books at all* None-
theless, hardly anyone seems to believe him. To us,
this is an indication that Mr, Ringer is a great
master. One of the axioms of life is this: even if you
tell the truth— perhaps because you tell the truth-
no one will believe you J
Most commonly the psychopath has been depict-
ed in a positive way only in fiction — the popularity of
which emphasizes the moth- to -the- flame fascination
most people have for the breed. (Though we focus
mainly on movies, if you like to read you might want
to keep in mind that many of the movies we
mention— here and in the Appendix— were derived
from books, some good, some bad. Further some
useful books have not been made into movies at all;
Ayn Rand's Atlas Shrugged, 1957 is an excellent
example.)
You can find a few comedies (mostly among older
British films); these include School for Scoundrels,
1960 and The Captain's Paradise, 1954), You can
also find a few comedy/dramas (notably The Sting f
1973 and Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid,
1969— which may be the best-loved psychopath
movie ever made), However, most works which depict
psychopaths are straight dramas. Among these are
such excellent movies as Point Break (in our view,
one of the purest and best of its kind) and the ever-
popular Silence of the Lambs. 5
5 Silence of the Lambs is an example of an excellent movie
derived from an excellent book (i.e., the book of the same
name bv Thomas Harris). In addition, the less well-known

hii! hi I hat the hero-psychopath is, at least to a large
i < e 1 1 , conscious of his values and deliberate in his
h lions. 6 (Contrast the unconsciously driven nut-
. men in suspense /terrror/horror movies like The
tititul That Rocks the Cradle, 1992 and its numerous
i I<mk\s; these characters seem to inspire little or no
ympathy with the audience.)
Throughout history, throughout most of the
world, real, live psychopaths have gotten a bad rap.
That is quite understandable since almost all of the
world's religious and social philosophies have little
use for the individual except as a tool to be placed in
service to their notion of something else: "God," or
the "collective," or the "higher good/' or some other
equally undefinable term. Only rarely, such cis in
Zen, some aspects of Tibetan Buddhism and Hindu-
story of Hannibal Lecter s earlier "activities," Red Dragon,
1981 was also quite good — as a book. The movie, however,
was rather mediocre. As we go to press (1999), the long
awaited third book in the Lecter series, Hannibal, has been
published. Speculation abounds whether a movie will be
made. It seems clear that after many years, Lecter, his
liver, fava beans and Chianti are still treasured.)
^ The conscious psychopath is often seen as the most
"rear and frequently the most sympathetic character, This
is certainly true for the fictional psychopath, and is also
true for the real-life psychopath much more often than
most people would like to admit.
13
Pandemonium
ism, and some schools of Existentialism, is the truly
autonomous individual considered primal.
To most of the world, anyone who holds himseli
apart from the herd {especially in the psychological
sense) is, at least, highly suspect and probably blas-
phemous, heretical and criminal. (Almost every defi-
nition of the term psychopath includes the word
"criminal" as one of its key characteristics.)
Who are held up to the world as archetypal
„, «f nwrhnnaths? Almost without exc
thev are of the violent criminal variety:
loners," "terrorists," "spree killers," "mass murderers
and "serial killers" are popular characterizations
today 7 ("Satanists," "witches" and their ilk get a play
from time to time but haven't really caught on.)
People in the political and propaganda (i.e., news)
businesses love examples of this kind: it gives them a
rfolden opportunity to rabble-rouse and pontificate.
Freauently they will describe the actions ot these
"terrible people" as "incomprehensible." When moti-
vations are considered at all, such people are usually
seen as demented, clinically insane, sexually frus-
trated, politically fanatical or incompetent malcon-
tents Then comes the litany of assertions of expla-
nations" for their behavior-books, music video
games, movies, the Internet (or any relatively new
technology), satanism, "society, etc., etc. aa
nauseam.
Historically, certain conquerors and political fig-
ures (e.g., Hitler, Napoleon, Stalin) and competitors
7 Note that all of these categories are highly stylze d and
serve to dehumanize the individuals about which they
speTk. This is a common-and important-methodology
when referring to "enemies."
14
The Psychopath's Bible
to "legitimate governments" (e.g., organized crime
figures such as Jesse James, Al Capone, John
Dillinger and John Gotti 8 } have been characterized as
psychopaths.
This focus on the violent psychopath may be
dramatic, but it is also rather narrow. In a sense, to
isolate on figures such as these is like saying that
"Christians" are typified by Torquemada and Jim
Jones, (Come to think of it, there are millions —
perhaps billions — of people on this planet who would
agree with such a characterization of Christianity. Us
included.)
In reality, there are many operating psychopaths
who never reach the public eye. Some are never
identified as such because they are so successful at
what they do (i.e., they dont get caught). Many more
are never characterized as psychopaths because they
do not exercise unacceptable criminal behavior
(remember, criminal behavior — especially violent
criminal behavior — is usually considered one of the
essential defining characteristics of the psychopath)
and are thus considered acceptable, even valuable,
members of society. Many businessmen, lawyers,
doctors, and politicians fall into this group. (It has
often been said that Al Capone would have been a
great success in the "legitimate" business world if he
had not become involved in "criminal" activities. This
should come as no great surprise considering that
many of the businesses in which Capone and others
of his time were engaged — for example, the sale of
alcohol and other chemicals, gambling and prostitu
tion — were then, and are today, defined as "legiti-

were viewed as heroic figures by many of the people of
their time.

Pandemonium
mate" or "criminal" only by the circumstances of
geography,)
Considering the amount of focus that is expended
on the violent psychopath, it appears interesting to
us that there really seem to be very few operating
psychopaths in these traditionally accepted "nut"
group categories. For example, according to the FBI,
there are probably no more than thirty-five (l serial
killers" operating in the U.S. at any given time, 9
Also, according to the FBI, virtually all assertions
of the existence of any organized violent "Satanic"
conspiracies have proven to be unfounded.
Even more significant to us, however, is the rare
occurrence of relatively large-scale violent acts 10
initiated by individuals or small groups: "terrorist"
acts like the bombings of the World Trade Center in
New York and the Federal Building in Oklahoma
City, "mass murders," airplane bombings, etc. seem
to us rather rare (and often rather incompetently
carried out), 11 Indeed, with all the hype about the
power, determination, organization and resources of
certain "terrorist groups/' it seems particularly
strange to us that no one has done something really
■ wv-„ ■
9 Some academic sources claim as many as two hundred
and some claim that the number is rising. To be sure,
much of the research seems rather shoddy to us. In any
case, however, the whole thing seems like small potatoes.
10 This statement, of course, deliberately excludes the per-
petrators of really large-scale violence; i.e., governments.
1 1 Each such incident, of course, receives an enormous
amount of publicity and hand -wringing, but lets be hon-
est: add it all up and there really haven't been that many
incidents worldwide throughout human history; moreover,
the total number of people killed in all the incidents put
together amounts to less than a pimple on the ass of any
minor league war, civil or otherwise.

dramatic: for example, setting off a nuclear bomb in
Washington, D.C. Are all these "psychopaths" really
so ii^c°"^ T ^ -o ^ -c>vi ^ r ^^
It is worthy noting that some people have sug-
gested that, because we have written about the
violent psychopath, we are somehow encouraging
such behavior. Nothing could be further from the
truth!! We wish to make it absolutely clear that we do
not condone the initiation of violence to achieve any
end, by any one, at any time, in any place, in any
For us, the fundamental rule of interpersonal
behavior is that it is absolutely unacceptable to initi-
ate violence under any circumstances.
Not that that's out of the way, what does the
academic world say about the psychopath? Here are
some "accepted" definitions.
From the American Heritage Dictionary: Psycho-
path: "A person with an antisocial personality disor-
der, especially one manifested in aggressive, pervert-
ed, criminal, or amoral behavior." [Emphasis added]
"Antisocial personality disorder" is a technical
term in psychiatry which we will soon consider.
* ^^^^^
12 Some people feel that the rarity of such deeds suggests
(or even provesl) the existence of some sort of worldwide
political/social conspiracy. Conspiracy theories appear to
appeal to and console the human ego which longs for
meaning and purpose and hates to accept that most peo-
ple really are incompetent.
17
Pandemonium
Note that all of the other adjectives are normative;
"aggressive** (as compared to passive and compli
ant?), and "perverted s criminal, or amoral" which arc
all defined by what is "socially accepted." 13
In the U.S, t The Diagnostic and Statistical Manual
of Mental Disorders, (DSM-IV™) 4th Edition, Ameri-
can Psychiatric Association, 1994 is the "bible" of
psychiatry, 14 So, what does DSM-IV™ say about
"antisocial personality disorder"? [Emphasis added.]
The essential feature of Antisocial Personality
Disorder is a pervasive pattern of disregard for,
and violation of, the rights 15 of others that
begins in childhood or early adolescence and
continues into adulthood.
This pattern has also been referred to as
psychopathy, sociopathy, or dyssocial personal-
ity disorder, ...Deceit and manipulation are
central features. . .
...the individual must be at least age 18
years and must have had a history of some
symptoms of Conduct Disorder befoVe age 15
1 J "Socially accepted/' of course, is not an "absolute"; it
always refers to the mores at a particular time and place.
No doubt you would laugh (and run) if a medical doctor
said, 14 According to the customs of this society, you have
an infection in your finger." But in psychiatry, this sort of
diagnostic methodology is common and accepted-
14 If youVe never picked up DSM-IV™, we strongly rec-
ommend that you do so. You'll find yourself in it. You'll
find your friends and associates in it. You'll find your fam-
ily members in It, Indeed, you'll jind everyone in it In other
words, from the point of view of psychiatry, everyone has a
"mental disorder." For psychiatry, there is no such thing as
mental health, only degrees of pathology!
*5 Central as this is to the definition of psychopath, we are
not aware of any definition of "rights" in DSM-IV™,
Nonetheless, the common understanding of the term
should suffice.
18
The Psychopath's Bible
vi Mrs. 16 Conduct Disorder involves a repetitive
.u i<l persistent pattern of behaviour in which
the? basic rights of others or major age-appro-
l>i late societal norms or rules are violated. The
Mpecific behaviours characteristic of Conduct

sion to people and animals, destruction of
property t deceitfulness or theft, or serious vio-
lation of rules.
The pattern of antisocial behaviour contin-
ues into adulthood. (Theyj fail to conform to

16 So not to worry. There are no young psychopaths. Only
psychopaths in training.
17 Are we the only ones who find it weird that DSM-IV™
uses the words "wishes" and "feelings" in this sentence
along with ll rights." Disregarding the wishes or feelings of
others is pathology!?
18 Some might say that these are essential skills if one is
to prosper or even survive in an insane world.

fail to compensate or make amends for their
behaviour. They may believe that eveiyono Is
out to "help number one" and that one should
stop at nothing to avoid being pushed around.
Diagnostic Criteria
A. There is a pervasive pattern of disregard
for and violation of the rights 19 of others occur-
ring since age 15 years, as indicated by three
(or more) of the following:
1. failure to conform to social norms with
respect to lawful behaviors as indicated by
repeatedly performing acts that are grounds for
arrest
2. deceitfulness, as indicated by repeated
lying, use of aliases, or conning others for per-
sonal profit or pleasure
3. impulsivity or failure to plan ahead
4. irritability and aggressiveness, as indi-
cated by repeated physical fights or assaults
5. reckless disregard for safety of self or
others
6- consistent irresponsibility, as indicated by
repeated failure to sustain consistent work
behavior or honor financial obligations
7. lack of remorse, as indicated by being
indifferent to or rationalizing having hurt, mis-
treated, or stolen from another
B. The individual is at least age 18 years.
C. There is evidence of Conduct Disorder
with onset before age 15 years.
D. The occurrence of antisocial behavior is
not exclusively during the course of Schizo-
phrenia or a Manic Episode.
DSM-IV™ goes on with a list of "Associated Fea-
tures and Disorders'' including: "inflated and arro-
gant self- appraisal/' "excessively opinionated, self-
assured, or cocky" (i.e., it's OK to have high self-
esteem but don't exhibit more than the shrink con-
siders acceptable). Also the psychopath "may receive

Personally, I find the lesser-known definition of

I he U.S.) more interesting and concise:
Krom the ICD-10 Classification of Mental and
I Irhavioural Disorders, World Health Organization,
(H i ncva, 1992; F60,2 Dissocial (Antisocial) Personal-
ity Disorder:
Personality disorder, usually coming to atten-
tion because of a gross disparity between
behaviour and the prevailing social norms, and
characterized by at least 3 of the following:
(a) callous unconcern for the feelings of
others;
(b) gross and persistent attitude of irrespon-
sibility and disregard for social norms, rules
and obligations;
(c) incapacity to maintain enduring relation-
ships, though having no difficulty in establish-
ing them;
(d) very low tolerance to frustration and a
low threshold for discharge of aggression, in-
cluding violence;
(e) incapacity to experience guilt and to profit
- from experience, particularly punishment;
(f) marked proneness to blame others, or to
offer plausible rationalizations, for the behav-
iour that has brought the patient into conflict
with society.
There may also be persistent irritability as
an associated feature, Conduct disorder during

With all these definitions and remarks behind us,
it's time to get back to why this book was written.
This book was written to applaud, encourage and
counsel the best among this wretched, sheeplike
species called "man." It pulls no punches, it makes
no apologies, it minces no words. It applauds the
rare individual who writes his own song, plays his
own tune and lives his own life.
In particular it speaks to a particular breed of
psychopath which we call interchangeably the
"Toxick Magician," 21 the "Practitioner," or the
"Manipulator/' The most effective of these we refer to
simply and reverentially as the "Master,"
As with all psychopaths > he (or she 22 ) recognizes
the pathetic nature of the human condition and
takes from it what he can. But he goes further: he
encourages homo normalis to live life according to his
nature, the life Thomas Hobbes characterized as
"brutish, nasty and short/' He encourages the

master who is adept at something like a "Secret Death

We do not expect to hear from many true,
mature, operating, successful Masters since anonym-
ity is essential to the success of his action. Some sole
practitioners may want to come in for a checkup;
some, perhaps, for companionship, a break from the
tedium of dealing with common man. We want to

course, but take care; it will cost you a lot, perhaps
much more than you are willing or prepared to pay.

very few will "make it." As the wise man said, no

that you get rid of this book now before you are
poisoned further. You have been warned.
If you are going to go ahead despite our warnings,
we have a few suggestions for both the aspiring and
practicing Toxick Magician: first, buy two copies of
this book. One, of course, is for your personal use.
You should put the other away for your offspring or
for future generations since, like Hoffer's The True
Believer, this first public edition will go out of print
all too soon; and perhaps the book itself might be
forced out since it is so "dangerous."
Also, please note that we are currently working on
a companion volume to this book. The Psychopath's

Introduction
Numerous professional editors (i.e,, for hire) have
refused to assist in the editing of this book, I ask
myself why?
Their answer is that by participating in the publi-
cation of this book, they would be participating "in
dimming the light of civilization." What they really
mean is that they are horrified at the prospect of
exposing the inherent hypocrisy of most human
behavior.
What these professionals seem unable to consider
is that the light of civilization is the result of individ-
uals who are capable of inventing light bulbs and
turning on the switches. Put another way, all that is
best is the result of the aristocracy of spirit which
faces the facts and refuses to become confused bv
the illusion of complexity.
Like any patient in need of an operation I asked
my surgeons (editors) to apply all their skill and
knowledge toward beautifying this project. But
instead of a healthy excision here and there they
have concluded that this book is a cancer which
must be cut out at all costs. What this means is that
this book can't be beautified for it is itself the cure of
the cancer which pays them.
Of course, if 1 had labeled this book differently
and had been indirect in what I said there would
have been no problem. This, then, is the first lesson
of this book: never say exactly what you mean if you
want the cooperation of the coward. No matter how
pathetic, everyone is looking out for their best inter-
ests. For most people their best interests consist of
not being punished. Few play to win. They play to be
safe while feeling morally superior to the winners.

Also these professionals can't handle, without
facing a collapse of their spirit, that you can 'I
improve something that is not designed to be
improved — except by radical reconstructive genetic
"surgery/ 1 You can toss all the money in the world
into the pit of the eternal fire of stupidity and all it
will do is bum.
University degrees are in disrepute because they
deserve to be. Mediocrity reigns, We even lack real
people to hate. Lies, deceit and symbols have taken
the place of the sword and the gun. Man is a
animal and worse as a God. What other creature
needs holidays to remind him of what to feel and
when?
The Christian Judaic attempt to make a human
out of man has failed. What has emerged are two
things: 1. The Web Page (but no matter what one
says the Web is still the home of the Spider) and
2. The Manipulator. He is the fetus who refused to
abort.
He is about to happen to you.
There is a lot of slop in life. You can make a ton of
mistakes, be the biggest screwup and still survive
and even succeed. Don't let anyone fool you about
. There are millions — billions — of people who
believe all kinds of lies and still do well. Some people
believe the truth and are utter failures. Life is toler-
ant, even stupidly so.
What you are about to read is an exposition on
how "everything" in the world works. While illustra-
tive and vivid, this small book only touches on the
intricacies of the major concepts of control, manipu-
lation and torture which are the major pastimes of
mankind.
28
The Psychopath's Bible
I Jut I assure you, my dear reader, that "touching"
OH Ihese subjects may be all you need. You may
tether feel exhilarated and seek to fill in the blank
• •puces yourself, or the "touch" of this little book may
1 1 1 1 you with such disgust and loathing that you will
mash every mirror in your house and pledge to
MMsassinate the author.
Instead of the latter, however, may this small
hook slowly and directly lead the reader through the
workings of the human condition.
Remember, the principles contained herein are
applicable to mega-corporations, governments, soci-
al ies of every kind, families and, of course, you. So
read on at your own risk.
The reader should keep in mind that this book is
explicit and pulls no punches. Some readers will be
very offended by many of the ideas in this book while
others will sadly or joyously shake their head in
affirmation and seek out the author for personal
instruction and guidance. If you do so, be sure to
bring a good check.
I wrote this book as a summary of the observ-
ations of a well-trained social philosopher and
psychologist and, while I am well aware that my per-
sonal reputation will suffer in the sterile world of
academia, I joyfully make this sacrifice for the honor
of sharing my insights and conclusions with hope-
fully kindred spirits.
As you read this book, keep in mind that you are
sharing the secrets of the great "bosses" and kings of
all time and, while these secrets might offend you,
they do control you. So my reader— read well.
The first thing to keep in mind is that nature is
not horrible. Almost everyone believes, in one way or
another, that nature is malicious and, without
29
Pandemonium
human conscience, the world would turn into a
nightmare of war, rape, murder, theft, fraud, etc.,
and that the strong would exploit and destroy the
weak.
If such things exist— and they do— they do so with
the full consent and sanction of mankind.
However, there are a few points that we need to
get straight. First, the strong never will get rid of the
weak as this would yield a poor return on invest-
ment. In fact, the strong actually help to breed the
weak, because, without them, the strong who re-
mained might finally kill each other off.
This would leave the world with but a few indi-
viduals separated by vast distances. If this were the
case, those remaining would die of boredom.
The common notion that man is a killer is much
too narrow. He is simply an exploiter and controller
with killing being only one of various possible game
outcomes. In other words, all things being equal, like
the proverbial cat and mouse, man would rather play
with the mouse than kill it— unless of course he is
starving to death. As long as there are other food
sources, it appears that mankind enjoys manipula-
tion and exploitation as its primary species-sport.
Man is the ultimate game player because he pretends
that he is not playing a game at all.
Nature is not horrible. Nature is simply nature
and the term horrible is simply propaganda, created
by leaders from the beginning of time to help control
the majority of people most of the time.
"Most of the time" is the important phrase be-
cause, without some chaos and destruction, the
population might wake up to the fact that nature is
not inherently horrible; and then who in hell would
30
The Psychopaths Bible
in i ll leaders to run their lives? Without leaders to
• umplain about, the game would not be fun.
More importantly, for me, without people who
Irny that they are playing the game of control and
1 1 limitation, life could be no fun. One of my favorite
tines is to make people who believe that they are
mdI playing a control game realize that they are. One
til I he kicks I get from doing this is watching them
>u iffer from this realization.
It is important to have at least a few people like
this in your life. When I feel there aren't enough
around me, I make a point of seeking them out and
rull ivating them.
Without belaboring the point or trying to make
(lie reader feel good, the entire Game of Life is rigged
and even most so-called leaders do not know what is
really going on.
This book promotes the idea that the human
species, like every other species, has its own favorite
sports.
Specifically, the human species loves games
which are dominated by control and manipulation
even if they lead to mass destruction, including the
destruction of self.
However, part of this game requires that we
pretend that we do care, when in fact what we really
enjoy is what leads up to the spilling of blood. Some
people enjoy the blood a bit more than others, but I
for one would rather call the game quits when I know
that I have won.
I am well aware that the position posited in this
book will meet with a lot of resistance from the
bleeding hearts of the world, but let me give away a
little secret right from the beginning: most human
beings (the common man) are so numb by their very
nature that they are completely unaware that they
31
Pandemonium
are playing a major part in this game (albeit aw
extras) and that in most instances, the common
man doesn't feel an ounce of pain from the process ul
general exploitation and manipulation.
In other words, the generic victim needs to be the
victim. He needs to be controlled, lest he face a void,
an abyss so deep that Dante himself would have
been at loss for words.

I vi y primal force which accomplishes the true
i r 1 1 i ic will of the Toxick Magician,
i Mini this application will entail doing what nor-
in 1 1 people call "good," for it is this so-called good-in-
ii HI which, by its very nature, brings about the
ill ii i'd results of the Master: confusion, destruction
him I I he confounding of forces. The Manipulator loves
people who do good and, even more so, people who
I t ill lk good thoughts.
An example will serve to illustrate. Everything
Which the Establishment and Church desire finally
brings about its own ruin and with it the establish-
ment of Higher Order(s) of dis-organization — which
. i re the goals of the Master.
It follows that it is the Church's desire to see the
end of abortion which brings about the necessary
over-population which in turn causes the Toxick
Chaos necessary to see the destruction of the
Church and, to a large extent, the environment as we
know it.
The Toxick Magidan sees all appeals to ecology as
futile attempts to maintain stasis. Hence, the preoc-
cupation with ecology leads to a level of destruction
far greater than would be otherwise.
For example, consider the cascading effects of
water-saving toilets. In order not to clog them, we are
now so dis-commoded that we have to shit in seg-
ments. People are not able to get rid of their feces as
quickly as they used to and this is not safe!!
33
Pandemonium
Consequently, to safeguard their health, prupl.
are now buying black-market toilets and install it if
them illegally under cover of darkness.
The effect of ecology in this case is to create a nrw
criminal underclass and reduce the population
through the spread of disease. To cover up the real
cause, the blame for the increased mortality rate ha. 1 ,
been placed on salmonella infected chickens and
tainted red meat, thus eliminating Steak Tartar and
Ramos Fizzes from the menus of finer restaurants.
On the positive side, it allows people to becomr
familiar once again with their bodily products,
destroys the abomination of Grilled Chicken Caesar
Salad, and brings back into vogue scato-divination,
It is worth noting that, if the issue were really
water-conservation, the entire problem could be
solved more effectively with a two-button toilet with,
of course, the appropriate international icons of
yellow drops for number 1 and a brown coil with
rising steam for number 2. 24
The Practitioner constantly looks for small ways
to jiggle the environment which will (dis-) attract the
attention of the masses. Something as simple as
dropping little pieces of paper in the street provides
24 By the time you read this, such toilets may seem old
hat. Indeed — except for the icons — we have already seen
such toilets in certain parts of the world. Moreover, for
years, residents of many water-scarce areas have — some-
how — managed to be frugal with this resource without any
sort of governmental enforcement whatsoever! (Only the
tourists need to be told; "If it's yellow let it mellow; if it's
brown flush it down," )
It is worth noting, of course, that next week, or next year
or next decade many of the examples used in this book
may seem dated, old-fashioned, obsolete and /or "quaint/ 1

The Toxick Magician knows there is no way nol la
create what the Hindu's have called Karma. Karma In
good!
He knows this fact very well and he is also aware
that most people live in a superstitious world ol
"causes and effects/*
The Master knows how to take advantage of every
superstition because he understands that "causes"
as we "know" them also create "effects" as we can't
know them.
The Manipulator knows that everyone lives in
bubble(s) of superstition(s) where magical rewards
and punishments lurk and abound. But somewhere
in the dark of perceived order there is a monster
hiding, ready to devour the "innocent*
He loves to walk down the street in pride and cer-
tainty, knowing he's but one moment away from an
attack of diarrhea. This makes him unique among
the masses. The Toxick Magician always views his
adversary with his head in the toilet bowl.
The Practitioner knows, for example, that, if the
pro-abortionists win by controlling population it is
the wrong population that will be controlled.
This is one of the key principles of Toxick Magick;
whether the Church, for example, gets its way in
terms of abortion or not is quite irrelevant. It is the
quality and nature of the forces set in motion for
which the Toxick Magician strives.
He knows that whatever is the most gross, will
triumph in the end. Whatever levels the playing field
triumphs for a while.

110,6% illiteracy in the Civilized World and not the
i rverse. The goal of literacy is simply a ruse, a ploy of
the Toxick Magician to set into motion those forces
which interfere with the natural give and take of
In I (diligence and stupidity, and power and impotency.
Thus, every so-called worthy goal is a ruse and
I he fuse of destruction. In the end, all goals reduce to
control and the means used to gain control are irrel-
evant and quickly forgotten.
What difference does it make to the average indi-
vidual or organization that 10 or 20 million lives are
destroyed after a week or two? It is only important
that there is a fresh chicken in the pot. This is called
"Voodoo Mechanics/*
Toxick Magick, then, is the direct use and applica-
tion of one's power and abilities to speedily bring
about the destruction oj mediocrity and stupidity.
However, the Manipulator realizes that what fol-
lows is more due to "chance" than direct application.
This means that you should not sit around too long
thinking about what to do. Set something in motion
now. Then sit back and watch the fallout.
The natural power behind Toxick Magick is the
Hatred of Restriction and the Joy in the power of
Freedom and the apparent random application of
choice, risk and chaos.
37
Pandemonium
Pain and destruction feed the planet more ih;\w
pleasure.
A Manipulator's task is to always throw a little
something into the works. Learn how to help every
one achieve what they want. It will, in the end,
destroy them.
By the perfect application of the mind of a Master,
individuals will develop the natural character traits
to lead the world into a deep and abysmal darkness,
until the necessary form of transformed destructive-
ness occurs, thereby freeing new and more interest-
ing forms to evolve and develop.
For example, as we wind down to ultimate world
peace, expect the greatest possibility for a nuclear
caust.
Note that when speak of evolution, we use the
word "forms" and not "form/' The idea of plurality is
important in many ways but, for the moment its
importance lies in the fact that multiple users of
Toxicity can create competing ends for the yet un-
born futures which will create events which will be
regarded as beautiful and grotesque.

I fir human mind exists on shifting gradients of
n|MTlor force and power. The grade of the mind
H i i.nis and influences the forces which surround it.
According to the strength of the Practitioner's
l mlc of conduct and his willingness to help promote
I'oxlcity and Chaos in the mindset of his neighbor,
I lie appropriate result usually follows: paranoia. The
Mime you can help your neighbor get what he wants,
I he more his paranoia and anxiety.
Used properly, paranoia is an ideal weapon to
* i rate false and misleading struggles which burn the
t-ncrgy of everyone involved. Paranoia is a simple
nils-direction virus.
We say that paranoia usually follows since other
Manipulators may be operating in similar areas with
different results in mind. But rest assured, all vic-
tims live in a world of suspicion and superstition.
Thus paranoia is the minimum a good Toxick Magi-
cian can expect.
The only major requirement is that all Manipula-
tors know that their ultimate goal is for the good of
the gross force field which is forever struggling to
give birth to new life forms as quickly as possible,
regardless of the cost to the older forms.
Now, at last, the human race has the means to
make radical transformations and provide the race
the opportunity to do away with itself in its present
dead-end form.
Thus, for example, in order for immortality to
exist, most of the human race will need to be
destroyed — and it will be.
39
Pandemonium
At first, of course, there will be the obligatory
moaning over the "tragedy." But, within a fe\*
months, this destruction will be seen as a happy ami
event, just as euthanasia will, in time. \>v
seen as a "new" solution to over-population and tin
"problem" of funding Social Security systems. (The
scenes at the conclusion of Stanley Kubrick':.
brilliant movie Dr. Strangelove: Or How I Learned to
Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb present an
excellent example of this process.)
Every human, no matter what he tells himself,
knows that, simply by being alive, he has run into a
brick wall in every aspect of his life. This world is a
world of in voluntarism, of Zombies. And the final
brick in the wall is involuntary death.
The power of death lies not simply in the cessa-
tion of life, but in the reality that death always feels
like the "other" and forces most people to feel a
distance between their self and their "here-and-now-
ness." Death is alienation — the final negative out-
come.
This is why the housewives of the world are seen
everywhere pushing baby carriages and sipping tea
as the mushroom clouds form. The Master, on the
other hand, always keeps his coffin handy.
Death, which we have been taught can neither be
killed, endured or cured, is the ultimate wound to
the self. The Toxick Magician knows otherwise. He
knows that once the right forces are in play, death
becomes optional.
If he has the mental organization, the active will,
and the stamina to exercise his power, he will have
immediate control over his adversaries. This allows
him to buy time. And isn't buying time our most
interesting and perverse activity?

» »< i| n'i ;ition.
Kueh and every individual has almost a comical
h he to see himself destroyed. This puts an end to
I lie waiting and the filling of time with nonsense. To
IHI lime means to make time tense.
This doesn't argue against the survivalist theory,
I it it in fact is supported by most Neo-Darwinian
Upcculations. This race, in this form, is obsolete. It
iMift carry the possibilities of the future(s) for too
long.
Few individuals can tolerate the mental void of
Tuxick Chaos which surrounds him. Always there is
.ome little quirk or some little error which causes
him some misery, pain or destruction. Without the
need to change diapers, most mothers would strangle
I heir infants.
It always appears that this little something or
that could have been avoided and, if we didn't wish
to hide from the inherent ugliness of the human
condition, we could have side-stepped this misery.
But, remember, those who do not readily, eagerly
and graciously accept this world of in voluntarism
will be labeled misfits and psychopaths. As such, be
prepared— for enemies are needed to blame for every
bad ending/'
Look at the dinosaur — they might have blamed
the automobile. And if you look at things perversely
enough, the death of the automobile might create a
species more horrifying than the dinosaur.
Even with horror and death aside, few can toler-
ate complete success. It leads to boredom and to the
44
41
Pandemonium
final realization that we are all food within the belly
of a giant monster whose final goals we only have ;»
glimmer of— and the glimmer we see is not comfort
ing.
Thus, while man doesn't seek death per se, he
seeks destruction as this provides the opportunity fol
new and potentially more lively events. Destruction is
the great act of control. It is the "no" to involun-
tarism .
The fact that destruction does, in fact, lead to
death is purely happenstantiaL The organisms of the
future will be able to destroy themselves and still
continue to live.
Where there exists an innate superiority or power,
Toxick Magick will manifest itself.
A good Student will immediately understand this
once he realizes that much of what he has called
-failure 11 is truly pre-potent success. This is particu-
larly true when the Student can write his "autobiog-
raphies" with complete dispassion. Every autobiog-
raphy is nothing more than a story of destruction
and decay.
Whether a force is ultimately positive or negative
doesn't matter, for it sets in motion other forces over
which the magician has little or no control.
This form of Chaos is desired since unknown
results leads to more Toxicity and Chaos. Toxick
Magicians have been called the "Children Who Hate."
And, if the truth be known, they do. They hate stu-
pidity, death and restriction. They loathe the idea of
linear time.
42
The public in general has no concern as to who is
> Manipulator. The public is only concerned with
I iH l y criminals who might affect their petty little lives
illrcctly. This is why so many white collar criminals
i'h tree or get minimal sentences and some of the
most hideous crimes either go totally unnoticed or
,11 e applauded as greatness.
For example , the "great" Hawaiian king Kameha-
meha I is considered "great" because he "unified the
Islands" — bv pushing thousands of his "enemies" off
cliffs.
Similarly, consider the Christian fight against evil
1 1 1 Europe — which was finally victorious when all of
I he "witches" were burned.
The public concerns itself with the maintenance
of its status quo (i.e., chickens) and, rule, the
public should be helped to maintain its status quo
even more intensely than it is.
The heavier it gets, the deeper it sinks and the
greater its fears. It can't succeed or leap to the next
level of superiority. It must sink deeper and hold on
more strongly.
As it does this it creates more enemies while, at
the same time, making itself more impotent. Do not
fight the status quo or the failures which surround
, Help it, encourage it, and then help it encapsu-
late itself. Help it grow stronger and heavier. Use
whatever it creates. Don't change it, simply stream-
line it a little.
Many normal magicians regard real power as
unattainable. This is natural for them since they do
43
Pandemonium
not have any real power to begin with. One who l.u \
a mind which possesses strength and active pro
cesses can't, by its very nature, possess power.
Normal magicians are horrified by the notion u|
power and control over others. The Toxick Magirl.wi
has no such terror. What terrifies him is that
status quo may gain power over him through his own
natural desire to be destroyed and be replaced by
better, more flexible life forms.
Remember it is a natural tendency to be dark and
self- destructive. The trick is to do it well — very well.
Help others get what they want. This is the mow I
insidious form of destroying them. It makes them
instantly terminal and, in most cases, useless.
This method is similar to what has been called
the Peter Principle. Help each person to reach their
highest level of incompetence. Once they are there,
they will begin digging in, establish fixed fortifica-
tions, and now you have them as a resource — a tool
if you would, to do with as you wish.
For example, universities have developed the ten-
ure system to guarantee control over a potentially
dangerous and Toxick faculty.

The Master is well aware of the value of control-
ling the psychic powers of others. In other words,
what some people believe to be their spiritual, psy-
chic or higher self is really the shadow spirit of the
Master himself.
It is the will of the Master that is speaking. This
result can either be induced or produced in the sub-
ject at hand.

Encounters take place everywhere. This Is the
beauty of learning how to be an effective Manipula-
tor, All day long, every day, you can inject your will
upon others by using their stupidity, their desire to
be gullible and, more importantly, their need to be
flattered while disbelieving what you say.
People are so fearful of being controlled that this
fact in itself makes them prime resources to be con-
trolled.
Every subject will guide you in how you can con-
trol them and help them become a slave to aspects of
your will. For, although people hate the thought of
control, most wish to be controlled.
Risk, freedom and power are only words for them.
Most are simply weak and cowardly, secretly waiting
for some superior force to take them over. The proof
is self-evident. Just look at the number of people
who seek degrees in sociology and education.
The comatose state of ordinary man is necessary,
and every attempt to awaken him drives him deeper
into security and trance. Thus, every promise to
make things better is designed to make him less
dangerous and more readily destroyed. Even his
revolutions make him into a better slave.

Zombies are the necessary requirement and, the
more of them, no matter what the source, is a sign of

Many people will reduce all of this into two simple
categories: Black Magick and White Magick. The
easiest thing to do with this simple reductionist ploy
is to use it to your best benefit. In other words, let
people call it what they will. Agree with them and
help them to firm up their ideas. Help them make
their notions so rigid that they can be broken like
glass. Other people's stupidity is your resource. Help
them to remain stupid.
Remember, one of best ways to get what you
want, no matter what it is, to help other people get

Discord is the politics of mobility.
The more mobile, the more discord you sow.

The practice of Toxick Magick is hard and the
imps are many. One of the worst and most danger-
mi:. I raps is the "food chain/' Every good Manipulator
Knows exactly where he is on the food chain at any
moment in time.
The concept, in and of itself, often separates the
peal Toxick Magician from the pretenders.
The food chain concept explicitly states that we
are in a constant process of consuming each other
and being consumed by each other. There are no free
lunches and each encounter demands knowledge of
who is going to consume whom.
Some people prefer to look upon this as trading:
after all we are human, aren't we? But no, we con-
sume each other all the time, often in subtle ways,
but nonetheless we live off the flesh and blood of
everyone we meet. In fact, right now each of us is
living off the flesh and blood of people we haven't met
and others are living off of us,
However, the Manipulator knows how to delve
into and apply the most subtle forms of strength or
weakness to accomplish his ends.
One imperative technique is the ability to evalu-
ate what each person wants to consume, the style he
consumes it in, and the utensils he uses. Everyone
wants something, even if it is to give away something
for "free/*
Some people are so overburdened that the great-
est way to consume them is to not let them help you.
By doing this, the Practitioner can create situations
49

in which he can get something from a person 1 1 » - ■
they didn't wish to give.
But beware, you are also food, and knowing huW
to be consumed (eaten/used) is imperative hi youi

this to yourself. If you don't accept the fact gnur
fully, you will damage yourself severely.
Trying to pull yourself up to your adversary 01
trying to pull your adversary down to yourself Ls
another common error. This can cause unnecessurtf
pain and destruction.
Evaluating the complex and ever- changing posi
tions on the food chain is one the finest applications
of your capabilities. Once you have ascended to the
position of influence in this area and practice the
method to its fullest extent, you will automatically
release a vast reservoir of your natural power.
But under no circumstances should you under-
value the power of knowing how to evaluate the
power of food-chain consciousness.
Do not be put to sleep by platitudes or niceties.
You are always being looked at in terms of use, and
use means consumption. Thus, always be prepared
to learn new methods of food chain evaluation. To do
this you will have to lose, at least for a while, much
more than you will win, One of the secrets in this
area is learning how to disguise your scent with
marinades.
The Master trusts everyone— that is, he trusts
everyone to be human. No matter what disguise each
and every person puts on, they are out for their own
perception of their best interests— which includes
their own self-destruction,
Almost everyone denies that self-destruction is
one of their primary goals, but no matter how much

Dm \v is no way out of it* except to destroy yourself.
* .rt! destruction is control, and some control, no
null tci how painful it might seem, is better than no
1 1 ol at all.
Most so-called insane people are nothing more
limn bad control junkies. So are most drunks and
■ iddicts.
They are very aware of how little control they have
• Kecpt, however, to numb themselves, create artifi-
Clal delusions of grandeur and, finally, to destroy
themselves. And, in the process, cause pain to the
world which "refused" them.
This feeling exists only in their own imagination, I
have known a number of people who attempted
suicide and one of their prime fantasies is watching
others cry over them and hate themselves for the way
( hey treated the poor, dead martyr.
If you were there and could have overheard some
of these inadequate control junkies, you would have
laughed yourself silly. And, frankly, I wouldn't be
surprised that some of them, after hearing your
laughter, would go right out and try it again.
In the process of understanding the food chain, it
is imperative to keep in mind the kind of diet you
prefer. Some Toxick Magicians like different types of
subjects to manipulate than do others. For example,
some like women while others prefer men. (I, for one,
like to help women get what they want.)
However, it is imperative to keep in mind that
since Toxick Vampirism is highly sophisticated and
51
Pandemonium
inlileulc, ii is important to know that some IVi< ||
I loners go on particular types of diets befoie I In
atleinpt certain manipulations or activities (■ r
rituals).
Knowing what types of people to "consume"
when to "consume" them can be highly effective! in
determining the success or failure of a specific ven
ture.
Another way to understand this issue is based on
the metaphor of meat-eaters and vegetarians.
Under certain circumstances a meat-eater musl
go on a vegetarian diet in order to heal an illness 01
lose weight. The same holds true with Toxick Magic k.
Certain psychic diets (which, in this case, means the
consumption of the energy of certain types of people),
is necessary before embarking on a particular exper-
iment or project.
Eat the psychic food of others which best suits
your temperament and the temperament of your
operation, If you are going to try a magical operation
which requires immense strength, you might try con-
trolling someone you have never controlled before,
However, if you fail you might find that you will need
to wait a while before you have enough strength to
try again. Be careful not to overindulge or overdo it,
Draining people of energy can sometimes have a
rebound effect, particularly if you cant stomach the
results. It is like buying a puppy dog and feeling
possessed by its following you around all the time.
You might have been better off with a cat or a snake.
Be careful of what you want, particularly if you do
not know how to balance the operation.
The balance of any operation counts on the mix-
ture of ingredients which goes into making up the
whole meal. And, for some people, looking at a ritual

If you feel that overindulgence is necessary, wait

Itncl forces sometimes appreciate a great feast after-
wards both to signify your commitment to them and
h> teed a particular entity.
This issue brings up a very important point. You
must reward entities which assist you and punish
entities which either harm or interfere with your
work.
When you are evaluating someone on the food
chain, it is important to take into account the quality
of their brain and the beauty or ugliness of their
body.
Extracting energy from dull-witted or very ugly
people, while still energy, can cause psychic indiges-
tion. This idea follows from the old axiom: "Be careful
who you hang out with, you might become like
them."
This fact is often ignored, not only in the simple
day-to-day operations between people, but in the
of Toxick Magick. Although a Master can nor-
mally offset this effect, most apprentices are not yet
53
Pandemonium
iIium/', enough to accomplish this, particularly if thoy
urc surrounded by parasites and defeatists.
Under these conditions, it is best to stay awny
from Ihese people, especially if there are too many oi
ihem gathered in a single place. On the other hand.
1J I here are a few, simply take control of them.
Do not allow them to influence you. Build a shield
around them first and, if that doesnt work, get away.
But don't build a constant shield around yourself
because it might inhibit other work which you might
be doing. Personal shield building is only necessary
under certain conditions.
Since the power of the Practitioner is a function oi
both natural superiority and intense practice, it is
important to choose the right times and places for
practice, as well as the right victims for your opera-
tions.

As more people find that they are innately Toxick,
inn if competition will tend to break out between
practitioners. This is natural since, at this time in
mil history, more people are being born with the
Utlcnt. of manipulating darkness and participating in
Hit* destruction of normal humans.
I often feel overjoyed when I find out that some
worn-out impediment to our futures — and the
1 1 Mures of the developing life forms — has been
destroyed, or has become so rigid that its own oper-
ating system is failing.
For example, consider the effects of ever-increas-
ing over-population. Foe normal people this is a
worrv because of the drain of resources. For the
Toxick Magician it is a joy, particularly because it is a
drain of resources.
He scoffs at such notions or problems. Every
problem is simply an opportunity to fuel the feeding
Groups that hate each other and wish to destroy
each other are simply tools for the Manipulator.
For example, the periodic "Satanic Scares/' witch
hunts over organized child abuse, and all TV media-
events are viewed first as jokes and then as proof
that this particular species has reached the end of its
The species is simply a resource for the latent,
hidden viruses of this planet — much as this planet
may be a resource for another planet.
The entire process is a food chain which the
Master actively supports and utilizes for his comfort
and fun. He knows that everything is part of the
55
Pandemonium
problem and that there are no solutions from I
conventional point of view. He knows that million
die daily and millions are born to take their place Mi
knows that the planet is alive as a stomach is alive
it digests everything.
The Manipulator always contributes to the prnb
lem even when he gives millions of dollars to charily-
He knows that each mini-solution will lead to :i
greater and bigger problem in the long run. 1 It-
knows that a vaccine which will save lives will, in the
long run, actually destroy more lives or let the wrong
people die and the wrong people live.
Few people have the strength and fortitude to
stare directly into the eyes of the future forms which
are preparing to take our place. Few can stand the
face of the superman. Few can bear the horrors that
await and no one can stop them- Every law enacted
is just another nail in the coffin, and to watch the
true believer suffer and be tortured is a great joy. It
feeds you.
It is important to have a number of separate,
independent, and different food sources to feed and
maintain you, depending on your ever-changing
needs.
For example, I engage in "friendships" and dia-
logues with people who normally would hate each
other, but who 1 use for sustenance and enthusiasm.
Both Satanic cults and Christian fundamentalists
are closer to seeing the truth than most normal
people.
Something is going on, but it's not what they
think, The Beast is staring out from each pair of eyes
you see. Each glance in the mirror is the story of this
world — and the Toxick Magician loves mirrors. Each

Every human life form is totally and complMHv
occupied with itself.
Even if you appear to be the center of someone
else's activities, it is still the person and his preocm
pations which are the real center. Never forget this,
no matter how interested someone seems in you.
They are interested in how you fit— or might fit —
into their food chain. Never be fooled by people who
sacrifice themselves for you, Without their so-called
sacrifice, they would be isolated, depressed or feci
utter emptiness.
Self-sacrifice is an addiction. Self-sacrificers are
often closet- or ex-morphine addicts. I can't tell you
how many addictions are prevented and/or "cured"
through substitution. The number would certainly be
startling to most people,
The idea of "for someone else's good" is patently
absurd, even if the victim receives benefit. People
constantly confuse results with motive and it is
much more comforting to ascribe mystical and altru-
istic motivations to events than to accept them as
magical acts of will (the Merlin phenomenon), or ran-
dom consequences of complex interaction neucoid-
correlation matrices.
If you place twelve people together in a room,
certain unpredictable outcomes have to occur. This
is true even if you limit the interests of the dozen to
preparing and sharing food.
Every human, while occupied with themselves,
desires to get away from themselves and play "follow
the leader/' Follow the leader is not always noticeable

are strong enough, remember that no one really likes

how well vou fit into their resource scheme.
If a Manipulator does something for someone, he
never allows himself to be totally repaid. He always
wants an edge. However, he always allows his victim
to repay him to a certain degree lest the victim turn
into a enemy.
People are always keeping count of what they owe
and what is owed to them. Few people are capable of
simply taking without its finally having a devastating
effect on their personality. However, there are some
who are expert at it,

pleasures behind closed doors and always at the
expense of everyone they know — while, all the time,
claiming innocence and ignorance.
One of these even chastises himself for not under-
standing the ways of the world while he insidiously

Do not forget that helpful behavior is often nolh
ing more than the attempt to build points for future
security. While it might be natural for such a person
to give, at the same time he is giving he is also accn
mulating points which, sooner or later, will be col
lected.
The collection process can even be displaced —
that is t collected from someone who doesn't owe that
person a thing. This is often caused by frustration
which leads to depression or aggression. Neither
state can be tolerated for too long, so the results of
the frustration build and find release in sado-
masochistic activities which include extracting points
from any victim.
Note that I didn't say innocent victim, for no one
alive is innocent. Everyone is involved in accumulat-
ing points and surviving, Thus, every act of survival
is an act of destruction. Every breath destroys uni-
verses. We are all murderers.
These sado-masochistic acts include punish-
ments dealt out both upon others and upon oneself.
But even if a person simply punishes himself, his
pitiful sight is punishment for all those around him.
If he wishes to be helpful, his best bet is to com-
mit suicide — unless, of course, he learns how to be a
Toxick Magician and uses his natural self- destructive
habits in a more effective and satisfying fashion.

A good Manipulator is like a farmer with many
fields. At any time he is in various stages of planting,
reaping, sowing, and allowing the land to rest. This is
a very important model — although some prefer the
hunter-gather model. I, for one, use and combine
both. To be a stalker and a gatherer and a farmer is,
in my view, an ideal formula for proper operation.
Unfortunately, however, I learned some of my skills
too late in life to take full benefit of them.
As is so often said by psychologists and philoso-
phers, humans go through a protracted period of
"maturation" when compared to other species. This
lengthy period of being a child and under the thumb
of various authorities makes the human a prime
candidate for re-instituting the infantilizing process
during any period of his life.
For example , consider most people's response to
the Toxick Platitude: "Every thing I Need to Know I
Learned in Kindergarten." They nod their head
knowingly, and smile because an authority has

The most adept of these might be called "terrorist

and dangerous invasive procedures which "must be
clone immediately or you could die at any moment,"
( This latter group has been so successful that the
"zipper," which characterizes open heart surgery, has
become a status symbol.)
Most psychotherapists, of course, have always
treated their "patients" as infants. As the field has
driven out the few good therapists in favor of the
mediocrity of the "housewife therapist," the opportu-
nity for infantilization has expanded dramatically.
Witness the self-righteousness, witch-hunt mentality
of "adult survivors of child abuse" and the stylish-
ness of Multiple Personality Disorder.
One of the key factors in understanding why
people are so pathetic is that, during the infantile
stage of development, they "come to constant erro-
neous conclusions" as to "what causes what."
In other words, they learn erroneous negotiation
strategies right from the very beginning and come up

Building upon wrong conclusions leads to hahll
which, once ingrained, are difficult if not imposslbli
to break. People's minds become calcified. They
blindly proceed through their lives, deceiving thrm
selves and repressing the immense spite they hav<
accumulated over all the years for continuously
being treated like children.
If this is not bad enough, all humans have a col
lection of traumas and have learned to carry around
a backpack of anxieties.
I have often said of the human that he suffers
from an auto-immune disease. He desires oblivion
while at the same time loathing the idea of losing
control and his occasional feelings of integrity.
He can't tolerate his condition, but has no way
out short of self-destruction. For man, life is a blind
assembly line. Each person thinks he is free while
secretly living out the fantasies of his DNA.
His needs and resentments are so intense that
annihilation through symbolic means is often his
only option. He can't flee and he sees no one in par-
ticular to fight. Thus the need for symbolic substitu-
tions such as masochism, depression, war, enemies,
and so forth.
For example, there are wars on drugs, fruit flies,
border invasions (illegal aliens) and even the occa-
sional revolution-
There is no therapy for the human condition as

People wanted to be children with a strong magical
father to care for them. However, the German people,
like any other group of people, would have felt
offended if their nose was rubbed in what they had to
become in order to get what they believed they
wanted.
The chronic process of making — and being
made — the child is a technique at which every
bureaucrat and government official is adept. This is
fundamentally how the police operate. The Master is
an expert in this area.
This is particularly true when others attempt to
make the Master Practitioner into a child. He knows

The method of reducing everyone to a child i\
primary for this species and pervades this pland. All
life forms have the means to turn every situation into
a potentially "infantilizing" one.
The Toxick Magician is conscious that a boomer
ang effect can occur when someone is made aware
that they have to play a childlike role in order to gel
what they want.
Unlike most people, the Manipulator knows how
not to use his authority to excess. No act of
intimidation is free of a price and the price for play-
ing on the needs of adults to be children can be two-
fold — sabotage and dependence. Often, both occur at
the same time.
The Practitioner is well aware of what types of
people will respond with what reaction. Sabotage is
the most common method. Often this takes the form
of passive-aggressive behavior. We note this often in
the American factory when workers sabotage the
company's profit because they resent the role of
being told what to do. The worker, of course, carries

One technique that the Toxick Magician uses In
making something look harder than it is.
Universities constantly use this ploy and the
longer people live the more difficult things will have
to be made. So, instead of taking three years to learn
a skill which should have only taken one year, it will
now take five years.
Making things look harder and taking more time
allows for better indoctrination and control of the:
victim who wishes to have a better life for himself by
getting the sanction of certain groups.
people want to be Certified by someone
greater than themselves. The idea of having a life
without some form of Certificate will become more
and more terrifying as the beast becomes more
complex and begins to fall apart. This is when the
Manipulator begins to shine. He is always best at —
"fall apart."
The Practitioner knows how to hold out the Right
Carrot and to create just the right amount of difficul-
ty and humiliation to make an ally out of a potential
enemy.
He knows how to get the victim to identify with
his causes and his needs and to make him grateful
for all the misery he has been caused.
The victim now becomes a true believer as the
Toxick Magician manipulates the parameters of fear,
failure, reward, punishment and success in just the
right fashion,
He knows that people have no direct access to
truth, nor do they have the ability to find out what
truth is.
68
The Psychopath's Bible
I n si cad they have religions, superstitions,
ill I'nrs, certificates, test scores, badges, passports,
||i i HM*s t and, of course, good old-fashioned ancestor
\Vl i Th I lip.
I hcse all have in common the worship of author-
n v mul power which the common man attempts to
manipulate through gestures (i.e., obsessions),
hopes, beliefs and structured living.
For example, she gets her college degree; gets
married (which in turn unrolls an entire subset of
.iilditional obsessions such as making babies,
ullending school functions, arranging baptisms,
In lying houses and selecting furniture); getting a job
(which provides its own subset of obsessions such as
huying a car, being preoccupied with taxes, looking
lorward to holidays and vacations, attending office
parties, working to improve social status, preparing
lor retirement); retirement (which brings preoccupa-
tion with diseases, leisure, and grandchildren); and —
finally — death.
The truly funny thing about all of this, is that
each and every person thinks that he is deciding and
controlling these activities intentionally and con-
sciously and that they are unique in the history of the
world.
In reality, anyone with an ounce of awareness
knows that these activities are common, banal, trite,
vacuous, insignificant, boring and ridiculous — and
make for great sport for the Manipulator.
He will often make believe that he takes these
things seriously as he disrupts these "unique" social
patterns.
For example, he can have a good laugh over
someone's mother having her varicose veins stripped
or John getting caught having an affair or that Bill
has just been diagnosed with manic-depressive
psychosis.

inpimltc Is true. The Toxick Magician knows how to
■ t-uiiv the habits and willingness of his victim in

Mr knows how to raise every need and desire to
jiiwl I he right pitch, making the victim more suscep-
I ll ilc even eager — to embrace his wilL Each person
i . .'.Imply an instrument that the Manipulator plays.
In addition, every Master knows how to mis-direct
hlB activities and use the mis-directions of his victim.
Every victim has numerous explanations to make
beautiful and individual his automated and fearful
behaviors. Every victim has platitudes and morai-
tums to hide his greed, envy and jealously. And every
victim has a morass of rationalizations and denial
mechanisms to mask the numerous sins that keep
him living in perpetual shame and guilt. Thus, the
Toxick Magician knows that each person is already
well-controlled (habituated and ritualized) and all
that is needed is the right push here or there to
create the desired effect.
Every human is a heap of convictions which he
uses to assure himself that he exists "real" "indi-
vidual," In fact, this heap of convictions is the entire
content of this bag of flesh called the common man,
particularly when it is in the presence of others. He
babbles on, spouting a fetid, green slime of nonsense
syllables which constitute all that he "thinks" and
"values" about what should be and what shouldn't
be.
The victim's first goal is impress upon others his
boundaries of individuality on which, if someone
71
Pandemonium
happens to trespass, unpleasant consequent i
uiighl ensue. This is simply the posturing ol Mm
insecure whose convictions are nothing more th.nl
platitudes and "divine" revelations indoctrinated dm
ing childhood.
The Manipulator has no need to express lii
convictions — unless it serves his purpose to control
and create effects.
For example, he might express the opinion thai
he doesn't "believe in welfare" while all the ttmi
letting others know how much he gives to charity.
Doing this allows others to think they hav<
discovered who someone "really is" (i.e., how they
really work). Letting others discover who they think
you are is much better than telling them. People tend
to intensively believe what they find out for them-
selves, particularly if they think you have been
hiding something from them.
The Toxick Magician is well aware how important
it is to let others discover things for themselves. He
accomplishes this by leaving clues and establishing
puzzles and simple contradictions w r hich others can
easily solve for themselves.
He knows that each person is a detective, albeit a
bad one, but a detective nonetheless. As people get to
know one another, "great discoveries" by the victim
dispel the distrust everyone fundamentally feels
toward each other.
Subtly or unconsciously each person knows he is
playing a role. Thus, discovering the "truth" for him-
self helps the person give the Manipulator more con-
trol than intended.
It is important to be aware that, secretly, every-
one wants to be controlled— but in a way which is
acceptable to them. Everyone wants to give away
what they have — along with all the associated
responsibility — as long as it is done in a way which

The more the Practitioner hangs out with the
rotiimon people, the more he understands the cues
which they use to make decisions of trust and their
willingness to surrender control. Remember, to be in
control is frequently painful for most people.
This requires that the Manipulator hang out with
groups from various social strata in order to learn
their cues. This may even mean lowering oneself to a
level which normally would be unacceptable. In fact,
doing this from time to time is good training, and
giving charity and alms to those one finds the most
disgusting is a very good technique for building the
necessary character to deal with more powerful and
dangerous encounters which are sure to occur in an
active career.

The Toxick Magician understands how pi hi
works. He knows that if people are forced to lovv< i

Some people thrive on making people lower them
selves and giving in. In fact, making people give in 1
good practice of what not to do. Help people decld<
for themselves to help themselves by giving in to you.
This is the most subtle and powerful form of control.
Always first help people to help themselves. If this
doesn't work, more aggressive steps are necessary.
However, even at the last moment, be mean in a good
spirit. Always show a sense of good spirit no matter
what you are doing,
For practice, it can be useful to push people's
convictions to the breaking point. If you attempt this
experiment, be sure a good rapport has been devel-
oped between you and the victim. Be sure a good
flow of energy has been induced and you have the
strength and the vigor to control yourself from mak-
ing unnecessary emotional outbursts. Remember,
your goal is to get the victim to lose control over the
irrationality or stupidity of his belief.
Before performing this activity, however, first take
dancing lessons. Dancing through the mind of a per-
son is very similar to dancing with your feet. If you
can't take lessons, go to places where people dance
and learn to watch them.
Also learn to watch people while they are drunk.
In fact it is a good idea to get drunk yourself at least
once a month. This will give you the opportunity to
see how much you are improving in self-control.

The picture of the human condition and (In
Toxic k Magician's means and methods for mampil
lating it to his ends may not sound romantic to
many— except, of course, to the Toxick Magician
whose sole purpose is to explore, exploit and conlmi
the conditions of life.
The fact that he attempts to turn the mundane
into an adventure is his primary badge of honor. If a
normal person reads this material or tries the
methods described herein, instead of a badge ol
honor he will be wearing a badge of horror.
The power and force of the influence of the Prac-
titioner can be augmented in various ways. First and
foremost, practice makes perfect. This implies that
there will be many so-called "failures" which provide
the necessary lessons of how to present and preserve
oneself during a failure.
Another way of increasing power is through align-
ment with other Manipulators who have similar aims
and goals.
It is also sometimes useful to help another Toxick
Magician accomplish his own particular end even if
you do not directly benefit from it In these condi-
tions, you will have the opportunity to observe from a
different angle the operations of another Practitioner
(and perhaps even of a Master!)
Third, it is also useful from time to time to sur-
round yourself with many disciples from whom you
can drain resources and energy.
This tactic is especially fun if you know the
dynamics among the people in your group. If you
know each of their vulnerabilities and strengths and
76
The Psychopath's Bible
i,..u ihr other members play them, you can drain off
, power which you will need when you lind
.Miir.i-ll' in extreme and dangerous circumstances,
u H I do not doubt it, you will find yourself in extreme
Hid dangerous circumstances from time and time
nxl you will nerd every trick in the book to win or
pvt'n survive.
As you practice "failure" and note your own reac-
ilons (particularly feelings of smallness and humilia-
llon). you will begin to find ways of turning these
I (flings into healthy and free reactions. You will also
learn how to use these reactions to cause severe pain
in your adversaries. Remember, some adversaries
will also try to reverse your power and escape from
your control. The means which they use to accom-
plish this will give you deeper insight into their needs
and most secret desires.
Once you sense that you have gained an insight
Into their secrets, offer them some aspect of it in a
way which will not offend them or make them look
small. Once they accept your offer they are yours
unless, of course, they too are true Toxick Magicians.
If this is the case, back off until you find out more or
make a psychological alliance.
77
15
So tar, the objective of practicing Toxick Maffick i
(o provide relief from life for your subject, thereby
assuring yourself adventure and resources.
The more often you can relieve people from
responsibility in a way they can accept, the nmrr
likely they will allow you to drain them. Often they
will come directly to you for draining or punishment.
These are often opportune times to refuse them,
This allows you to build confidence in yourself and a
greater sense of slavery in your victim.
Fail them from time to time. Make them work
harder, even humiliate themselves in some fashion,
and then show them some respect and love* Sooner
rather than later they will be eating out of your hand.
Remember, always be sure to give relief at some
time. Allowing tension to remain for too long a period
of time can damage your resource. Relief, even if it
comes through humiliation, is welcomed.
It is important to reinforce the idea that the
Toxick Magician is not the cause of human suffering.
Human suffering is the norm. Being numb to the
depth of this suffering is normal. Being unaware of
the stupidity of life is a necessary defense for the
survival of this particular species.
The Manipulator is fully aware that anyone who
accepts and adapts to this stupidity is not a member
of the futures to come and is nothing more than a
breeding machine for more slaves.
The Practitioner didn't invent the human condi-
tion. He is only taking advantage of it by helping
others get what they want. The human condition is
simply slavery — a repetition of species behavior from
78
The Psychopath's Bible
1 1 1 criicialion to the next. The difference between
lllllinmH and other organisms is that there art;
i|i|u a lo be more wild card possibilities— and this
in. hides I he complete annihilation of the species.
I he Toxick Magician accepts these fundamentals
i nd doesn't lament. Instead he helps the species to
i rpluce itself with something better, something more
llr ,ibli\ something stronger, something immortal.
This will require the death of billions of people
.11. 1 /or the leaving of this particular planet. What-
« ver it takes, the Practitioner is constantly preparing
himself both in attitude and information. However,
he is not fooled like some by man's inventions or
cleverness in certain areas.
He is completely aware that man uses all his
inventions to further his primitive nature and that to
wait for evolution to catch up is pure folly.
He attempts to force life to speed up the process
of evolution— even if it costs him his own life—but he
only does this out of choice.
Toxick Magick is focused magic, and the Toxick
Magician saturates the wound called mankind with
his own vitality.
He obtains this vitality by consuming the energy
which others are more than willing to "give" away.
They don't want it— it is too much for them and the
Manipulator knows just the right means for gather-
ing in this "food" and digesting it. He knows just the
right temperature to store it and, best of all, he
knows just how to prepare it, to make it a joyous and
delightful meal.
He knows that the easiest method for gathering in
this energy is to help people continue to delude
themselves, to help them get what they think they
want.
79
16
Every once in a while, a Toxlck Magician will run
across someone who is somewhat aware of the truths
of human existence. If this person has the fortitude
and the willingness, the Practitioner can help this
person to himself become a Toxick Magician.
This is a particularly problematical exercise and
commitment, and is fraught with dangers and diffi-
culties- This exercise should only be taken on after
deep deliberation and testing of the subject. It is
imperative that the subject be tested in numerous
ways ,
It is best if the subject is attractive in some sense,
has some charisma and has an above average IQ,
Having some special talent is also a good indication
that the Manipulator's time will not be wasted.
But these are only preliminaries. Numerous tests
must be passed and many skills learned before the
Practitioner can be assured that his subject is wor-
thy.
However, it is also very important to keep in mind
the idea of circles within circles. Evervone is of some
use, especially those who hate the Toxick Magician.
Everyone cant become a member of the inner circle
and there is no harm in having many grades of prac-
titioners.

Dl depression and hopelessness. Also, he is acutely
aware of the danger of hope in situations which have
been very oppressive.
He uses these devices (among many others), to
help people get what they really want: more for less.
He pretends that he respects the rights of people
and is interested in their plights. Even though most
people know that this is a ruse, they go along with
the program because it is the line of least resistance
and allows them to express some of their frustra-
tions. This reduces the pain of their pent-up depres-
sion and aggression.
As a rule, people believe they have honor and a
reputation to protect and the Practitioner can manip-
ulate their reactions by casting doubt on their honor
or reputation. This can be done either by supporting
or threatening them. Often, casting doubt by the
method of support has the most useful benefits.
The Manipulator is always aware of how much
self-delusion is taking place when he is engaged in
any conversation, He either helps the self-delusion
along to the point that no one believes anyone any
longer — thus ending the conversation by switching
81
Pandemonium
the topic — or enhances the self-delusion just enough
to inflate the person's public value.

even if it means that they only exaggerate it to them

The Manipulator is always ready to make some
form of restitution for a perceived wrongdoing. Often
a small apology is enough. At this point, it is often
useful to talk about other people in a derogatory or
gossipy manner.
Give the victim the sense that you are taking him
into your "strictest confidence/* Although there is
some likelihood that you might not be fully believed,
if the person about whom you are gossiping is in
some way competitive with your victim, you will be
doubly believed.
Any type of gossip establishes bonds and, secon-
darily, alerts others that they, too, might be betrayed
at a later date. Thus, the Practitioner always uses
gossip wisely. Often he will let the other person do
the gossiping while keeping his mouth shut. Or he
might say something which will be heard as gossip
by his victim but which also has a double meaning
which he can easily twist around if later confronted.
He is expert at lying and confounding informa-
tion. Little slips and small distortions make for
potentially great future power plays which, if well
orchestrated, will produce excellent results.
18
While people scream about the importance of
loclal justice, it interests them little unless they are
In some way harmed. In fact, the idea of social
| ii si ice is something about which almost everyone is
1 1 Ij'htened,
For most people, social justice would mean ruin
since almost everyone has lied, stolen, distorted the
truth, harmed others in insidious ways, and held
back favors out of selfishness, greed, or simple
meanness. Thus, from time to time, someone must
be sacrificed to atone for and hide the sins of the
group or even an individual.
In cases like this, the Toxick Magician can per-
form miracles. He can help any group, no matter how
small, to find a victim to blame and torment.
By relieving the group of blame, he will often find
them willing to provide small favors which he should
take as soon as they are offered. In some instances,
delaying the acceptance of a gift is the best thing to
do, but not in the case of scapegoating. People want
to forget this petty part of themselves as quickly as
possible.
If you do a favor for someone who sees himself as
honorable and reputable, be sure to get paid well in
advance. These people have a very short memory
when it comes to being associated with someone who
might make them look bad in the future.
The Practitioner is well aware that all people like
to use reason and logic to help them follow and fulfill
their whims. In practical terms, this means talking in
moderation while always promising a miracle .

cles which are associated with stimuli which remind
them to forget the promise when the miracle fails i<»

Miracles will always appear in unexpected way*
which you can take credit for.
Of course, having a scapegoat is another means
for dealing with failed miracles. Still another method
is to mention that no miracle will occur and thai
more effort or hard work is needed for the desired
results.
But no matter what you do, a miracle is always
expected, This fact is based on a number of "natural
laws," the first of which is that no one has experi-
enced their own creation, and life goes on no matter
what happens.
All of this, and more, seems like miracles for
which the Toxick Magician knows how to take credit.
It is easy to be a miracle worker. Just allow the
obvious to happen. Since most people are in an hyp-
notic trance, if you can just see 10% of the obvious
you are a miracle worker. If you can see 25% t you
are a God,
People will always associate whatever precedes an
event as the cause of the event. As such, always let

always let someone else precede a painful one-
84
19
The Toxick Magician is well aware of the constant
battle between aspects of the same force: the desire
In i complete control and the desire for the unpre-
dictable which brings about the necessary destabi-
U/aliun of the entire human structure.
As the desire for predictability (control) increases,
natural consequences are automatically set in
motion which lead to destabilization or Chaos.
This process happens both cosmically and micro-
scopically. This theory doesn't assume a simple lin-
ear process within this gigantic struggle, but instead
assumes multiple processes (which, from time to
lime, might include a simple linear process).
In other words, the mathematical functions are
multiple, and are sometimes interactive and complex.
This leads to inconsistent error when certain phe-
nomena are scrutinized, since stabilization and
destabilization are forever interacting, and something
may be on the verge of complete destruction (meta-
morphosis) while appearing completely stable at the
moment of observation.
Humans are control freaks. The Manipulator
knows that, even stronger than the reality of sex and
food, is the desire to control sex and food.
Once something comes under apparent control,
the organism seeks to control other events to the ex-
tent that it invents games and devices which provide
the opportunity to play the control game.
The Practitioner spends a good deal of time ana-
lyzing the peculiar way(s) in which people play their
control game(s),
85
Pandemonium
The desire to control is so powerful that sulclili
and mass madness are sometimes the only tliim-
which will satisfy this desire.
At other times, on a more individual level, pcopli
will force a collapse of personality so they can bephi
controlling small things— like "not drinking for Mm
next minute" — to get the high of being in control.
Sometimes control junkies are so involuted and
play such strange control games that it appears that
control is the last thing they desire. In fact, this is
not the case.
Control is what they desire, even if they have to
force someone else to take up the cause for them.
The Toxick Magician is an expert in helping people
stabilize and de-stabilize. He knows just when to
introject the necessary force to accomplish his end
which is, of course, control.
He helps people seek destruction and death to
escape the tension of living. For most people t time is
tension and the clock, with its tight spring "forever
unwinding," is an ideal model. The tension unwinds
until the clock stops.
The Manipulator knows how to hold out hope.
Hope allows the food on the chain the illusion that
time has not run out. However, hope cant be used
continuously. Reality is just too much. Aging, death,
pain, loss and fear are just too real and, sooner or
later, the spring doesn't wish to be wound up again.
But, in spite of this wish, the Toxick Magician may
give it a wind or two anyway.
Hope springs eternal and, just as the hope is
coming to fruition, it is swallowed up by the monster
of time.
The Practitioner doesn't believe in the progress of

Learn to say things to people indirectly. A useful
way to do this is to communicate your message* l>v

For example, if you want to tell someone that I hey
are an idiot, do not say so directly. Instead, make up
a story about a fictitious person and tell it to anothei
person in the same room as your victim.
This can also be done even more indirectly by
telling the story to someone when the victim is not
even present if you know that the person to whom
you tell the stoiy will spread the story in the direction
you want it to go.
Learn to spread rumors in ways which will create
concern, suspicion or trust. Create fires and then put
them out. This technique is essential in building
trust and confidence in people you want to use later.
Learn to confuse people and then help them out
of their confusion. Remember, loyalty built on fear
and hope is more reliable than loyalty built on
friendship.
Friendships, no matter how good and how long
they have lasted, are bound to turn on you at critical
moments. Expect no one to take your punishment for
you and expect no one not to take advantage of you if
they can be assured that they will not be caught.
People have a tendency to change the rules of the
game at a time that is convenient for them. Always
keep this in mind and watch for the cues which will
tell you that someone is about to change the rules.
If there is too much tension in a situation, be
prepared for a rule change, If things seem too simple
and easy, get ready for a "theft" of some sort. People
like to get away with a little "stealing" from time to

The Toxick Magician is forever alert to the fael
that, to increase his accuracy in manipulating com
mon people, he must continually scan the environ
ment for appropriate reinforcers. He must know winl
will increase the chances of getting others to do wh;ii
he wants.
Often a reinforcer can be as simple as a smile. At
other times, however, a reinforcer can be quite com
plex, consisting of multiple categories of behaviors 01
items as well as multiple contingencies.
After much self- training, the Practitioner always
asks himself questions about the environment and
the humans operating in it. He is always aware of the
limitations of a situation.
He is constantly examining the important social
reinforcers within any given context. He determines
the pecking order and notices which people are most
easily influenced by approval or disapproval.
He is especially alert to anyone in authority with
excellent social skills as he knows that such a person
could also be a Toxick Magician,
He knows that a good Practitioner avoids direct
confrontation and frequently speaks obliquely in
order not to offend people or make them feel small, A
person who is expert at this type of behavior can, at
will, devastate someone by very simple means. Com-
mon people are easily hurt by someone who has been
kind and friendly toward them and who they look up
to.

Ulinrrrptabie behavior gets worse. He uses office
poll! leu, or whatever else it might take, to change the
\ u liavior of the offender.
It Is very important to realize that the Toxick
Manager looks upon people as "cooperators" or
"ill lenders." He doesn't take any behavior personally
and is willing to do just about anything to correct
1 1. nnages and reduce the probabilities of negative
outcomes.
A good Manipulator knows how to change the
offenders behavior by having him perform tasks
unrelated to the offensive behavior. Some minor priv-

by the Toxick Manager.
He is well aware that some people do not respond
well to verbal communications and thus he requires
a large bag of dirty tricks to correct the offensive
behavior.

The Toxick Magician is always aware that, no
matter how large a person may be, no matter how
many degrees or years of experience he may have,
common people are fundamentally children and
must be treated as children without their becoming
aware of the process.
One of the main themes of childhood is the gain-
ing of information- This is called "learning" and
adults do a fine job of making children stupid by
their methods of indoctrination,
Compared to adults, children have minimal infor-
mation. On the other hand, children have less per-
ceptual and cognitive bias than adults.
For both the adult and the child, information is
constantly being redefined, not only in content , but
also in terms of how real information is defined. Put
simply, real information consists of learning how to
ignore and select data.
For example, forty years ago few children had
much information about sex. Today, sex is so com-
mon that it is not really information at all. Once
everything becomes available to everyone, it becomes
nothing for everyone.
People appear more sophisticated today but, as
the gross level of sophistication rises, the real infor-
mation becomes more hidden and valuable.
When you hear an advertisement "disclose": "Be
the first to know what the markets are doing/*
remember that it is being heard by millions of people
at once. Where is the real information? It's mostly in
the fact that millions of people each think they are
hearing the real information first,

■MRmp
I his is the illusion that TV provides: that you and
Dumv around you — alone — are being entertained. In
Uu I, I lie more that people feel isolated yet tied to-
I'rllirr, i he easier it is for the Master to reign.
I W knows that real information "can't" be known.
II ir;U information could be had by everyone, it would
I I I u i icdiately become worthless. Information, by its
Veiy definition, implies ignorance and exclusivity. We
require ignorance in order to be informed.
What most people call information is nothing
more than another level of noise. Some optimists
who are aware of the problem simply state that the
Information is available but the use of the informa-
j Ion is still dependent on the intelligence of the popu-
lation. Mass intelligence is nothing more than mass
Information. Zero is still zero.
What is fascinating about this entire process is
that everyone thinks they know more but, in fact,
they know less.
Moreover, what they do know is next to useless
and is often mis-information. Thus, each new level of
information is nothing more than a higher level of
non-sense. What we generally call information is
nothing more than a higher level of incompetence.
People forget that, like individuals, each civiliza-
tion rises to its highest level of incompetence.
The Toxick Magician knows that if you help
someone or something long enough, it will finally
wish to be left alone. At that point help it a bit more
and then drop it. At that point it will become like
England: a land of non-entities with expensive titles.
This is the meaning of what we call information.
The more teachers, the dumber the students.
Every mother's son simply knows more buzz
words. But does that mean he knows what the
buzzing is? Is it a bee or a bomb?

Pandemonium
How much real wealth and how much real info]
mation does anyone really have? And, more inipoi
tantly, how long will they have it? Wealth which can
be easily stolen is not wealth at all. Most people are
simply storehouses for a master thief.
With more and more reliance placed on devices
which can be easily intercepted and manipulated,
how long will it take for a Toxlck collapse? These
issues are important considerations for the Master.
His goal is to help information become more
worthless while creating the illusion that it has more
value. He does this by helping people ask more
questions in very well-controlled and well-defined
situations.
He also promotes the collapse by helping crimi-
nalize behavior which interferes with the information
highway.
He knows that the criminalization of human
behavior serves one primary purpose: the destruction
of the system which defines crime. The more crimi-
nals, the more resources necessary to control crime
and criminals. The more resources required, the
more economic disruption and thus the more crimi-
nals required to fill the gaps In the system.

All mega-systems become top-heavy and chaoUe,
1 1 lis is much like a family with more children 1h;m
funds available to feed them. The parents become
desperate to hold together the fortress that their egos
had built
The Toxick Magician knows that every structure
serves to keep people m as well as out As lon£
(here are doors, there will be prisons.
The key is to get the prisoner to pay you for ser-
vices that he could provide better for himself. Thus,
I he first task is to teach him that he can't care for
himself and requires assistance. Once he accepts his
dependency on metaphysical grounds and submits,
his ownership is guaranteed.
Slavery as we knew it before, for example, the
Civil War in the U.S., was a bad thing. It made us
aware of something best forgotten — universal, hierar-
chical slavery-
When overt slavery ended, we lost our example of
what slavery was really all about. Slavery slipped
back into our unconscious.
All good Practitioners know how to manipulate
the common man's desire to be a slave while main-
taining the illusion of being a free person. It is better
for the common man to think that he is free as he is
held in the arms of his caretaker.
Democracy is the best political system of slavery
ever invented. In a democracy, the slaves believe that
they are "free" and have a "voice" in their affairs.
Thus, they are willing slaves and, as such, the possi-
bility of a revolt is much less than in an overt system
of slavery.
95
Pandemonium
This simple fact is supported by the numbn ul
books which have been written about self-eslean
The desired results are impovssible to obtain since i
slave can only have false self-esteem. And even I In
is a theft accomplished by identifying with LiIn
master.
There are no free people, only slaves who have
more privileges than others* Even the masters air
slaves to their greed and terror. Control over the lives
of millions doesn't free one from having to pay tin-
price.
There are no real successes in this world as we
are all bound in the brotherhood of death. If you
have to die, you have failed.

One of the most important ideas to get through
ymir head is that most people do not feel pain from
bring used — and misused — by a good Toxick Majj;i
dun. If they feel any pain at all, it is minimal.
The fact of the matter is simple: people are so
!. '.miliar with abuse and misuse that they are un-
aware of it This is worth repeating. Most people are
$0 used to being abused that for all intents and pur-
poses they are unaware that they are being abused
and, in most cases, expect it.
More interesting is the fact that, when they do
feel abused, they get upset by events and actions
which make them unaware of their real condition
and the chronic abuse which they "suffer."
Moreover, they take the events of life, both good
and bad, very personally, This fact alone contributes
to their overall sense of malaise and stupidity. They
are hard-wired to suffer and, in most cases, to suffer
without much awareness, A deadened suffering is
the norm and is expected.
Understanding the origin of human behavior is
like looking for a place to land a plane when the
earth below is covered by a huge, thick cloud.
Human behavior makes no sense from a hedonic
point of view, nor does it make sense from any alter-
native idea.
The human being is an unfinished entity, bur-
dened by a strange mix of cortical and sub-cortical
processes and a body which requires immense arti-
fices to protect and assure it of its immortality.

One thing we know — very well — is that moil
humans have been hired on as extras. They .it*
needed for this scene or that, for a few moments hen
and there, and then they are gone. In fact, they air
not even forgotten — because to be forgotten you Ami
have to be remembered.
Most people are extras who somehow have br
come deluded into thinking they are stars — albcil
burnt-out ones.
A few people are not extras on the stage but arc
stunt men 1 hired to play dangerous roles for the real
star. But even stunt men are rare.
It's funny to walk into a bank or a grocery store
and watch the tellers and clerks- A good Toxick
Magician knows how to watch them and manipulate
them. He knows that they feel that they have a little
power— and they do — but they are taught not to
abuse it, because it is a sign of bad taste.
Just watch them drool as they count out the
money or say "no" to someone. Then watch them
hang their little heads as they gaze blankly at their
paychecks.
Nonetheless, each is a star, each has a room
somewhere where he is king. Somewhere people rec-
ognize them as they perform their daily chores.
Watch the smile on their faces when you recognize
them. Watch how some try to hold back their enthu-
siasm — like a dead puppy dog.
Others flaunt their authority like a bit player who
has 30 seconds on second camera. But the Practi-
tioner knows who these people really are. He, and
even they, are not completely fooled.
98
The Psychopath's Bible
Phey are the extras, the hired hands, They \m

i i well— and someday, very soon, will. They nro
iiinuletely expendable' and those higher up (In* lud
dei know all too well how their middle management
1 1, 1 1 1 can quickly revert to head clerk.
A Toxick Magician will treat such people an
Important or unimportant depending on his mood
mid what he wants from them.
Oh yes, Toxick Magicians have moods, too. And
yes, they like to see the extras twitch once in a while,
A Her all, life is tough— and watching someone squirm
a bit can sometimes be uplifting— particularly if they
arc interfering with your will.
However, more often than not, it pays to be "nice"
to the hired help. The Manipulator is well aware that
(he clerk can become a monster once someone in
authority allows him to play a short part as boss.
There is nothing more funny than seeing the little
man inflate his chest and try to walk in shoes which
are too long and not wide enough.
After his first day on the new job everyone feels
sorry for him. Somehow he doesn't fit the part.
But soon enough no one will notice the difference.
Many of the extras will have gone, some of the audi-
ence will have moved on, and the star— well, who can
tell? Is her new billing for real, or is it just another
temp job, waiting until someone better comes along?
In a strange way it takes a lot of strength or a
powerful numbing agent to realize how insignificant
you really are, what minor roles you play, and how
everything you "love" and cherish can be taken away
from you in the wink of a gnat's eye.

ICvery Toxick Magician finds out exactly Whul

That this feeling consists of nothing bul the
hri'dom" to choose more or less what to eat, come
uud go as they please (more or less), say what's on
their mind (more or less), buy what they want, slay
up late, have sex, try something illicit once in n
while, spend money on things they like, is a joke. Is
I his all there is?
As a grown-up he is acutely aware (and yet, must
keep secret from himself) that all these privileges
which have been given to him, these "rights*' which
he has il earned" — can, all at once, for no good reason,
be taken away.
Why must this be kept secret?
Because he has been told that he can lose them
only if he deserves to — that is, if he does something
wrong, if he disobeys. The Practitioner is completely
aware of this horrifying lie and often needs to go no
further in planning his strategies.
He knows what everyone is frightened of and why
they are frightened. He knows that people believe
that they have been given rights and privileges and,
from their personal experience, they are completely
correct. Of course, in reality no one has given anyone
anything.
The Master has it one up on everyone: he knows
that he really doesn't own anything. He knows that
everything is borrowed — including his life.
Common man, however, always believes that
which never was a reality. This ability comes from a
101
strong imagination and the inability to distingul
the existential condition of his life from his Imp*
wishes and dreams. In this sense, common man llv

It, from time to time, the Toxick Magician Nninnln
like someone who concocted Huxley's Brave N* i w
Win Id, let me assure you he is not. Indeed, as a mat
I ci of perversity, we might assume that Huxley was
himself a Master with a keen knack for observing
human behavior and who projected forward from
what he saw.
While common man is competitive, greedy and
ambitious — unlike Huxley's common worker-bee —
this is only a small anomaly. Common man, as so
many brilliant and stupid authors have noted, is
simply a domesticated primate. And the zoo runs
quite well most of the time until any of the many zero
hours is reached — at which time pandemonium
breaks loose.
While common man is domesticated, seething
within him are all the necessary components of
destruction which allow him to be controlled and, at
the same time, allow him to be self-destructive. In
way, common man has the potential to act as if
he was a sower of discord and disobedience, but this
remains well under control — except during certain
times of the year and in certain places.
Other than pathological individuals (which in-
clude Toxick Magicians who have lost control) , com-
mon man is nicely controlled by bouts of depression,
temper tantrums, guilt, sorrow, terror and fear. The
result of all of these emotions is that common man is
nullified, which allows for his ability to perform the
rather pathetic and puny tasks to which he and
others have given significance.

Appendix
A Few Useful Teaching Tools
The following is a short, semi-random lisl ol
books, movies and events which we like for variou
reasons and which the aspiring or practicing Toxic k
Magician might find useful to study. Each has Its
own unique quality and some may have no value U>
you at all; we may even have included some as
ringers .
In many cases these works provide information
about attitudes and occasionally about techniques
(martial arts movies can be useful in both regards).
Only in a few cases, however, do we recommend the
work unreservedly: often the amount of useful
information varies tremendously. Some (like The
Thomas Crown Affair and Point Break) are excellent
portrayals of the psychopath from beginning to end.
Others (like Thelma and LoaLse are more limited — in
our view it was rather so-so until the end), In some
the psychopath-protagonists are highly limited by
the circumstances of their social environment (e.g.,
in Goodfellas the full expression of psychopathy was
limited — not because of the wider external society,
but because of the more limited society of a gang
with its own rules,)
You may find it useful to consider some of our
criteria for excluding some titles; many potential can-
didates were left off the list because the characters
come off as too pathetic, or as socialized/moralized,
or as driven only by outside forces or as 11 crazy/*
As we were putting this list together we noted
that many examples fell into certain distinct cate-

that succeed even minimally: when Captain Kirk

seems to make the point most eloquently) and War
Movies seem focused on an area which is inherently

One may argue that some titles do not belong on
the list at all; on the other hand, one may argue that
we missed obvious and significant works. We certain-
ly won't argue about that. We would very much like
your feedback (on this and any other relevant mat-
ters) to be used as grist for the upcoming Pyscho-
path's Workbook described in the Foreword.
